Twin Turbofan 42 inch ceilingUnique look and cool looking when it rotates . Gives the old restoration feeling and everyone that comes in loves it. It gives enough breeze for my 15x20 ft room. The light is nothing to speak of so dont count on it to light the room but still love the fan. Controls mount in with my other light switches for that room. Fans pivot to angle the breeze and mine is best at a 45 degree. My ceiling is 10 ft and this fan still meets the minimum floor to fan height code.

Has everyone gaspingThis product is so unique that everyone, including my installer, is commenting on it.. In addition to being unique, it cools better than a regular ceiling fan, looks fantastic, and contrary to many reviews, is quiet. It is the best ceiling fan purchase I have made. I must say that Lighting Direct has met my expectations on everything I have ever bought from them. Their service reps are the best.

Great PurchaseI bought two of these fans to hang in a great room with a 27' ceiling - these fans are beautiful, well crafted and make a great conversation piece. In high speed they make a little more noise than expected but not so loud to be annoying. I am very happy with this purchase, you will be too!

BeautifulThis is the most unique fan I have ever seen. It looks just like the picture and it is the talk of my new house. Everyone that sees it ask where did you find this at. It is more than I expected and I am a very hard person to please. I would recommend this to anyone that wants something different and unique. It is a focal point in my den.
